#5206: Nongshim Bae Hong Dong XXX-Picy Ramyun Noodles With Spicy Sauce - United States

Well this in the third in a series of bargain store finds – this was purchased for $299 at Grocery Outlet Bargain Market in Kenmore, WA for $2.99. That’s cheap! I reviewed it’s non-export version a little while back, which I found at HMart. I like this – I am guessing its the same but the imagery is very different – and the ‘XXX-Picy’ is really neat/weird! It’s a cold noodle. Let’s prepare it! ...see full post

#5196: Ayam Malaysian Black Pepper Noodles - Hong Kong

Well, I’m back. What do I mean by that? As I type this, it’s January 2nd. I was actually planning on reviewing it today, however the kids still aren’t back in school yet and at an age where they, well, to coin a phrase of my mother’s, have ‘diarrhea of the mouth.’ They’re noisy and won’t shush at all. The last review I did wasDecemberr 19th and this will get done January 6th. Quite a break for me. Well, let’s get it read then give it a try. ...see full post

#5192: Nissin x Irvins Salted Egg Mala Flavour - Singapore

This is the last of the multipacks – I’m really making progress through all these Nissin Singapore products! Soon, the monster box will be gone and I’ll have room. Not to say I don’t like what’s in the box as I very much do. I’m curious about this one – it’s salted egg again, but instead of pepper spicy, I’m guessing it’s Sichuan peppercorn spicy. Let’s see if it works! ...see full post

#5328: Totino's Ramen Noodles Cheese Pizza Naturally Flavored - United States

Well kids, here we are. It’s kind of funny; I’ve had many a pizza flavored instant noodle – from places like Pakistan, Serbia, Brazil, and Indonesia to name a few. Nothing from the United States though. All these others employed a standard fried wheat noodle and were indeed the ‘standard’ instant ramen style noodle. In this one for the US, the term ‘ramen’ is doing some incredibly heavy lifting. I feel partially to blame to be honest – I’m The Ramen Rater – but I do not only review Japanese varieties like shio, tonkotsu, miso and shoyu, but try everything from everywhere. So, is this something that is called ramen, or is it ramen? You be the judge. Rather, I will after I sample it. Let’s begin. ...see full post

Thank you to James from Lakeside, California for sending this along! He also sent a bulgogi sauce version but my wife absconded with it – and I let her. I generally don’t get anything noodle related that she’s all over so I figured that’s fair. Tteokbokki and rice cakes in a tubular shape, usually with a lot of tasty sauce and other toppings. It’s freaking wonderful. This one comes with two servings. Let’s give it a try! ...see full post

#5141: Baixiang Instant Noodles Coriander Noodle - China

Hey big thanks to Daniel over at Exotic Noods for sending this over! I am a big fan of coriander (cilantro) and this one seems to have a lot of it. It’s funny; the coriander we get here in the stores is so dark and I try to find it a lighter shade but it’s never very healthy stuff. I don’t know why. Anyways, Let’s give this a try. ...see full post
